Socialism is legalized theft.

Because without it the minority haves would be facing uprisings from the increasingly pissed off have nots every so often.....Don't belive me? Look in a history book....

which is an invasion upon our inalienable rights as individuals. in our advanced state we should be above the initiation of force in our relationships with our fellow man.

Bitch about it all you like the fact remains that without some form of institutionalised wealth distribution things tend to get unstable fast and us morlocks start to attack....

i don't know why you insist on using the words "wealth distribution." i think you mean stealing from the successful to pay for the poor. those people who CANNOT work in our society should be provided for through private charity. morlocks? wtf? use a different term as i don't think you grow the rich to eat.

"wealth distribution" meaning a mechanism whereby the proletariat gets its 40 pieces of silver (danegeld whatever) to buy it off of the concept of class war....Don't believe me?England 1381....France 1789 through 1793 or there abouts.......Russia 1917.....And yes it could be "private charity" but that has never worked particularly well....Look at it this way, if you are a good person you would be giving the money anyway, if you aren't the state is taking it from you for your own benefit so that me and mine don't turn you and yours into eloi....Does that make it more palateable (pun intended).....
